Low Latency MPI for Meiko CS/2 and ATM Clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a proposed message passing standard for development of efficient and portable parallel programs. An implementation of MPI is presented and evaluated for the Meiko CS/2, a 64 node parallel computer, and a network of 8 SGI workstations connected by an ATM switch and Ethernet.

Performance Evaluation and Modeling of MPI Communications on the Meiko CS-2
This paper presents, evaluates and compares the performance of the point-to-point and broadcast communication primitives of the MPI-1 standard library on the Meiko CS-2 parallel machine. Furthermore, a benchmark model of MPI communications is proposed. It is based on the size of messages exchanged and the number of processors involved.
متن کاملGeneral-purpose Parallel Computing in a High-energy Physics Experiment at Cern 1 the Na48 Experiment
The CERN experiment NA48 is actively using a 64-processor Meiko CS-2 machine provided by the ESPRIT project GP-MIMD2, running , as part of their day-today work, simulation and analysis programs parallelized in the framework of the project. The CS-2 is also used as a data warehouse for NA48: data coming at high rate from the experiment are processed in real-time and written to DEC DLTs using the...
متن کاملLow-Latency Communication on the IBM RISC
The IBM SP is one of the most powerful commercial MPPs, yet, in spite of its fast processors and high network bandwidth, the SP's communication latency is inferior to older machines such as the TMC CM-5 or Meiko CS-2. This paper investigates the use of Active Messages (AM) communication primitives as an alternative to the standard message passing in order to reduce communication overheads and t...
متن کاملExperience with active messages on the Meiko CS-2
Active messages provide a low latency communication architecture which on modern parallel machines achieves more than an order of magnitude performance improvement over more traditional communication libraries. This paper discusses the experience we gained while implementing active messages on the Meiko CS-2, and discusses implementations for similar architectures. During our work we have ident...
متن کاملActive Messages Implementations for the Meiko CS-2
Active messages provide a low latency communication architecture which on modern parallel machines achieves more than an order of magnitude performance improvement over more traditional communication libraries. It is used by library and compiler writers to obtain the utmost performance and has been used to implement the novel parallel language Split-C. This paper discusses the experience we gai...
